"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

so im in college in a fraternity and we have these things called date parties you bring a date to and you like go to a bar/club and have a good time. Well one of my friends gfs asks me if i had a date and wanted to get set up at this party. i was like sure. so later in the night she brings this girl out of nowhere has me talk to her. She is chunky as hell! But I don't want to hurt her feelings so i talk to her. Thank god some other guy for some reason starts talking to her.

I go off. Her and the girl's 2 friends come up later tell me this girl is like in love with me and ask me what I think. And i was like ya shes cool.... and shes like is she cute? and im like sure.... and shes like ya? and im like ya.... for some reason these girls couldnt take a godam hint from the tone of my voice. so i go off.

later they call me over to this girl again. and they are like so do you have anything to ask her? And im like uhhhh idk do i? Then i got trapped into saying will you go to the date party with me? and shes like YESS. and in my mind im like NOOOOOOOOO. I don't want to hurt this girls feelings but omg lol. also i dont want to piss off my gfs friend cas she does actually have some cute friends she could hook me up with in the future but she rly ****ed me over on this one lol. Any advice.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

this really isn't good, you should have just told her you wernt interested to begin with.
Your options are either to cancel on it or go but considering this is a date party i presume you will be stuck with her for the entire night?
If i was you i think i would just cancel out but play it so you don't piss ya girl mates off if you think she can sort you out girl wise in the future.

Why on earth did you say you liked her? If my friends ask me if a girl I'm not into is cute, I just say that's ok, but that we're not entirely compatible. Many of us here often hang out with different girls and are quite good at figuring out whether a girl is compatible with us or not.

And well, this one is chunky, but you've spoken to her, so you could have easily shot her down with "We don't have any common interests and life visions, and those are really important for me". Noone's hurt(except the chunky one), and you can still utilize the girls for other victims to prey on.

and if you're looking for a reason to give if they ask what you mean by her not being your type, just say "i prefer more confidence in a woman. someone who doesn't have to send her friends up to me to tell me she likes me and find out if i like her." afterall you said you were in COLLEGE and not 3rd grade, right? i would also NEVER let these "friends" of yours ever try to set you up again. my friends have stuck me with some less then attractive girls, or attempted to and to me it shows me that's what they think i can get, and nothing better. f*ck that. i don't need someones fat ugly friend pawned off on me just because i'm single and looking.
